Chipotle Chicken Enchiladas

Cuisine Mexican

Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs chicken breast
  • 1 jar chipotle salsa cremosa you might not need the whole jar- just depends on your spice preference
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 poblano pepper chopped
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 2 cups Colby and Monterey Jack cheese
  • Splash of milk
  • Corn tortillas
  • Taco seasoning to taste
  • 1 can chipotle peppers in adobe sauce

Instructions

  • Slow-cook the chicken in 1 cup of chipotle salsa cremosa or in chipotle peppers in adobe - (both are great, usually I just use what I have on hand!) Once thoroughly cooked, shred the chicken. (I prefer using the crockpot on low for 5-6 hours or high for 3-4 hours.)
  • In a sauce pan, add peppers, onions, olive oil and taco seasoning. Cook on Simmer for about 10 minutes. Add mixture to chicken.
  • Make the sauce by combining equal parts chipotle salsa cremosa and sour cream (I used 1 cup of each, plus a splash of milk to thin it out).
  • Stir together the shredded chicken mixture with a few spoonfuls of sauce and half the cheese.
  • Either layer like a casserole or roll the mixture into enchiladas using the corn tortillas. I like to add a little bit of sauce between each layer.
  • Top with the remaining sauce and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.
  • Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes or until the top is bubbly. Enjoy!
